Lee Dong-wook celebrates fan club anniversary in hanbok
by | January 31, 2009 | 29 Comments

 

Lee Dong-wook (La Dolce Vita) held his latest fanmeeting on January 30 in Tokyo to commemorate the one-year anniversary of his official Japanese fan club. He arrived wearing the traditional Korean hanbok to ring in the new (lunar) year.

After garnering fans for his roles in dramas like School and My Girl, Lee earned nicknames like “Milk Boy” (for his pale, clear complexion) and “Crown Prince.” The latter drama, which aired in 2006 and also shot his co-stars Lee Da-hae and Lee Junki to (greater) fame, was particularly instrumental in winning overseas fans and turning him into a bona fide Hallyu star. He followed that with movies Arang and Page 198 of His Book, as well as last year’s La Dolce Vita.

Lee explained that he plans on perhaps two more projects before enlisting for his army service, which will happen sometime after fall.

    thanks for the update, I think LDW really did well in La Dolce Vita, though sadly the drama didn’t do well ratings wise, hoping that he will choose another good project that will challenge his acting skills before his army enlistment

    and what a coincidence, this news follows after Lee Da-hae’s vacation news, My Girl fans and the fans of the Mukgu couple for sure are happy right now with the back-to-back updates ^ ^

    Thanks for the news, and I just find it pretty ironic that you posted this right after to posted an article regarding Lee Da Hae, his co-star in My Girl. I am not really a fan of his long hair, but he is gorgeous. xD

    why does he have lee jun ki hair?

  11. 11 gallivanter

    LOL–I thought the same thing! They really do look like sneakers.

    And um…yeah. The long hair needs to go. It reminds me of the “mountain man” phase thats hit the US. EVERY boy is doing it, and it’s gross.

    EH?! Haha, I thought those were sneakers too! But they’re some kind of dress shoes… still doesn’t go so well with the hanbok ;P

  13. 13 djes

    I know this is 2 weeks old but, this caught me by surprise. What can I say, I dislike the hair, it reminds of really weird 70′s hair. My weirdness towards the outfit is that it’s the first time I see such an outfit.

    I haven’t been able to see many of his movies because they are not subbed, maybe I just have to look harder though. I’m glad that he’s doing some projects before he does his service, makes me sad T_T though. I always forget that bit about S. Korea.

    Well, well,well………I dont think that the nickname “crown prince” will not suite him! Maybe it’s better to call him,……………..”The prince of my HEART”! Love you dong wook!You are so handsome in your long hair! I like you much better and deeper!

  21. 21 Charlene

    Dong Wook, your the “prince of my heart”! Love you! Your so cute with your long hair!I like you better!

  22. 22 Charlene

    Dong Wook, will you marry me! Joke! But if you like to, just call and I will be WAITING FOR YOU!

  24. 24 leedongwookforever

    not a fan of this pic.
    i don’t like him with long hair but he seems to prefer long hair
    He looks good in everything but i appreciate and drool on him with his short hair as in “my girl”.
    leedongwook oppa, you don’t look good with girlie hairstyle. you are a gorgeous good looking angelish gentleman, not a beautiful or pretty boy as in this age ( though i m 20. i don’t like girlie boy bands)
    oopa
    i love you
    (XOXOXO) big kiss and hugges

    though we all want to see you again in the screen, we are also happy now because we know you are having less stressful time here in the army, and you have enough time to sleep and dream of your girl (hihi)
